Mile Wide Stadium:
Reach level 24 in your EA Sports Bio.
Bonus players:
Create a player using one of the following names of members of
the band Alien Ant Farm: 'Terence Corso', 'Mike Cosgrove', 'Dryden Mitchell', or 'Tye Zamora'. The game
will adjust
the players face and statistics automatically to match that band
member.
Create a player using one of the following names of members of
the band Gob: 'Theo Gobzinakis', 'Gob Stomper', 'Tom
Whacker', 'Pat Wolfman', or 'Craig Would'. The game
will adjust the players face and statistics automatically to match
that band member. Note: In the Gamecube version, entering 'Gabe
Metal'
[another band member] will cause the game to freeze.
Look at the credits screen in the game and choose any name from
the EA development team. Enter that name at the create player
option. The game will tell you that it has this player in its
database, and automatically adjusts the stats and appearance accordingly.
For example, try the names 'Roy Armes', 'Dean Richards', 'Pin Tang', or 'Dave Warfield'.
Go to the 'Create A Player' option in the 'My NHL'
selection. Then enter 'Niklas Kronwall'
as a player name.
A message similar to 'This player already exists. Would you
like to create the same player?' will appear. Select 'Yes'
and the game will create Niklas Kronwall. Sign him to his original
team, the Detroit Red Wings.
Commentators: Deep voice:
Reach level 4 in your EA Sports Bio.
Dynasty mode: 2 GM office rewards:
Reach level 12 in your EA Sports Bio.
Hints: Getting good players:
In dynasty mode, rack up on draft picks by signing
unwanted free agents and trading them to random teams for draft
picks. Doing this also earns you GM experience points.
Use the following trick to get high draft picks without trading
good players. Once a draft is completed, see which teams took
the first few picks and remember their names. Go to the 'Trade
Players' screen in the GM menu. The team that just took their
first round pick will usually trade away that player for a third
or first round pick. Note: You do not receive your draft picks
to trade until the beginning of the next season.
You can easily make all the other teams in the league in dynasty
mode go broke by simply trading them salaries. Go to the Free
Agency screen and sign anyone desired [the worse the better] for
long-term contracts and millions of dollars. Then, trade those
players to the other teams. The CPU will accept any trade if they
do not have to give up anything in return [for example, a trade
for a 50 overall defenseman with a 6 year deal worth $25 million
a season]. Doing this allows you to sign free agents in the off
season very easily, as no one else will be able to afford them.
Before you go into dynasty or season mode, create every player
or most players on that team. For example, create Markus Naslund.
It will say that this player is in the database. Choose 'Yes'
and make his stats 97 or 98 because your practice rink and the
trainer upgrades will make the player. Then, start dynasty mode
and you will have those player[s].
Hints: Fat rebounds:
Take your 'big shooter' player with the puck,
skate him into the opposing team's zone holding Turbo
and
blast the puck near the red dot [just outside the blue line],
but be onside. This shot causes rebounds and unexpected goals.
Remember, it is better to shoot from the red dot on the side of
the goalie's blocker so he cannot glove it. Using a sniper will
result in rebounds not as large, but have a better chance for
a goal. Using an all out attack is the best strategy for this
trick.
Hints: Easy goals:
When you have the puck, swing around the opponent's
net. If the goalie is on the other side, then shoot with back
hand shot. Note: This best works with two players, so that other
person can distract the goalie.
Use the following trick to get an easy goal about 75% of the time.
Take the puck down the ice very fast with your winger [either
side works]. Stop at the goal line at the board. Make sure that
nobody comes and picks the puck from you. Your center man will
most likely be standing directly in front of the goal. Wait until
you have a clear pass to him then do a one-timer and he will score.
You will probably have to move around a lot to get the open slot,
and to keep from getting picked off.
Set the game on the beginner difficulty setting, then skate across
the goal crease and shoot once you get to the other side. You
will score about 98% of the time. Note: Do not let anyone block
or the goalie to steal the puck when you shoot.
When you get the puck, skate down to the opponent's end and go
directly to the bottom of one of the circles. Then, make a straight
dash in front of the net. Just when you pass the goalie, shoot
the puck and it will go in almost all the time.
Go behind the net with a player and then hit the
Analog-stick
in the opposite direction. This will make the player stop. When
this is done, no players will go behind the net. You can now look
for space and make a breakaway pass. This is very effective for
breakaway goals.
Take a fast player down the rink and skate around all the players
until you get in their end zone. Then, go up to the goalie, go
to the other side of him, and shoot. About 90% of the time you
will score. Try it with someone like Jagr or Iginla.
Pause game play, then select 'Controller Set Up' and
switch sides. Take that goalie out, then switch back to your original
team. You will be able to shoot at their open net until a whistle
or faceoff.
If you have a player on your team with the Speed and Sniper icons,
take him behind your net. Hold 'Speed Boost'
and go down
the boards while avoiding the opponent's players. Cut across the
front of your opponent's net and shoot. You should score most
of the time.
Take one of your snipers and skate him into the opposing team's
corner with the puck. Skate from the far corner at a angle [for
example, 45 degree] to the edge of the face off circle closest
to the goalie holding Turbo
and then shoot. Make sure your
shooter is of the opposite hand of the side you are shooting,
and that no players can pick you off or block. You can score as
much as desired by doing this under the beginner and easy difficulty
settings.
Hints: Glitch: Freeze game:
When in Create A Player, typing in a certain name will
cause the game to freeze. While typing in one of the members of
Gob [Gabe Metal], the screen will freeze. For example, typing
'Metal', then 'Gabe'
will freeze the screen, as well
as typing 'Gabe', then 'Metal'.
Hints: Get puck back:
If you are down by a goal late in the game and the
other team has the puck, move your 'Offensive Quick Play'
to 'All Out Attack' and your 'Defensive Quick Play'
to 'High Pressure' to put maximum hiture on the opposing
team so you can get the puck back in your possession.
